Mr. Speaker, 26 years after the Polytechnique tragedy, too many women are still victims of violence simply because they are women.
According to Quebec's Fédération des maisons d'hébergement pour femmes, 10,000 women were turned away last year alone. When I worked at a shelter, I had to turn women away myself. Women who are victims of violence need to have access to this essential service.
Can the minister tell us when her government will invest in shelters?
